The majority of Japanese women think men who take their dates to the venue using a train rather than a car “deserve to be single for life,” “have no right to love” and are “abusing women,” according to a recent article – which has predictably proven highly incendiary amongst Japan’s increasingly carless men.

These guys are just mocking the girls they try to court, and I hope they enjoy being single for life.

And it’s not just me who thinks this – most girls think exactly the same thing.

[…]

Frankly, making your date ride a train is abuse of women. It’s violence. A lot of idiot guys are so intent on satisfying their lust they don’t even realise this. They just want to jam themselves in a girl as cheaply as possible.

Most men are looking for sex as the final objective of any date with a woman. Maybe some guys will deny it on Twitter and the like, but those are just lies to try to make themselves look better, and no girl should believe them.

To say this has provoked an unsympathetic reaction from Japan’s highly train dependent and increasingly automobile-shunning male population would be an understatement:

“How does walking sound to you?”

“The girls who find using a train on a date too much of a hassle are the ones I’d like to see stay single for life.”

“I’ll just roll up in my light truck then.”

“To paraphrase, if you don’t have a car and the right to ride it, you’re not riding me either?”

“They just want to jam themselves in a girl as cheaply as possible = probably the only kind of guy she’s ever been able to date.”

“Trains are basically more convenient than cars in Tokyo though.”

“And so much safer than automobiles!”

“Did this hag get stuck in the bubble? Unless you live out in the country, who the hell uses a car on a date any more?”

“If you take a car on a date it means you can’t even booze together.”

“If you love your partner it hardly matters whether you are together on a train or a car, or even if you are just stuck in traffic together. Wait – has she not met someone like this?”

“Doesn’t everyone just meet up at the venue these days?”

“I bet she would not want to be driven about in a kei [ultra-compact] car either. Only old guys ride expensive motors these days!”

“I don’t own a car and use only trains and buses – hasn’t stopped me having a girlfriend.”

“Whether she is onto anything hinges on whether we are talking Tokyo or the middle of nowhere here.”

“Yes yes, we know how desperate they are to sell cars now. Maybe past generations lapped up this car-dating stuff, but young people today don’t care at all.”

“This woman is obviously one of the wasteful and extravagant bitches who are best avoided. At least she makes it clear.”

“What is supposed to be wrong with taking a train anyway?”

“Seems cheap. She wants a more expensive seeming date.”

“I think she’s right – most women do think that, and most aren’t going to want to go out with you anywhere on the train.”

“Shut it yokel.”

“I don’t think a guy who can’t even drive has any chance of cutting it as a father or something like that. I think I’d let a guy off until marriage though.”

“Even girls who live in the country often don’t care any more. I always used to get asked what I drove on dates, now I never get asked that.”

“Rental cars will suffice. This dumb provincial idiot barely registers anything other than the surface anyway.”

“I honestly think this whole piece was written by some old guy whose brain was poisoned by the bubble.”

“This is why cars don’t sell any more. They have massive ongoing maintenance expenses, gas isn’t cheap and you can get into all kinds of horrible accidents. Plus having to find parking wherever you go is horrible.”

“The reason you losers don’t get any is because you don’t dote on the whims of our female mistresses sufficiently!”

The sad part is owning a car in Japan is almost as expensive purchasing a house in another country.

Recent check; the cost of a new Honda Fit/Jazz (small economy hatchback) in Japan when converted to US dollars is almost enough to get you into a new Mercedes C250 (luxury sedan). With Japan’s economy literally stumbling…

…it’s all too apparent how high standards Japanese women has set for society these days. No brainer about Japan’s birth rates.

OK. So. I will go to Japan, and get myself and purchase and automobile. We will then go on a date. Anywhere you want. The sky is the limit. But, I have a caveat.

Our first destination will be with an encounter group for women that have suffered domestic violence. Real people, real bruises, real suffering. For an hour. Sit there, shut your mouth, and listen.

Then we will go out and live it up. Sex? If your willing and not awful looking, it might just happen. If your not, then no big deal. I’m mature enough to handle that.

That is, if this isn’t a wind up, troll post. If it is, then the “violence against women” line is the line of a petulant little girl trapped in a grown body that lacks any sort of empathy, so who cares what they think.

I’ve had a much better time on a train ride instead of a car on the way to a date with my boyfriend, especially if it’s a reserved seat train. We can focus on each other instead of traffic, and share a coffee or other drink if someone is walking down the aisle serving things. Having local ice cream on a reserved train seat while riding through a Japanese forest was the best date trip I’ve ever had.

I hope they would know that it’s really hard to own a car in Japan. Not only do you have to prove that you can drive, you also have to prove you have a place to park it. Also, for men like me who are physically unable to drive (terrible eyesight), how else are we supposed to take women places on dates? Since public transportation is out, I guess that these women would have to drive us around.

If she can’t play by my rules and respect my current status, she can go fuck herself.

There’s plenty of fishes in the sea if you know where to look for it.

Argue: You’ll be forever alone and I’ll be dating someone!

Comeback: So? I’d rather be forever alone actually achieving something than being interrupted every hour by a spoiled brat.

Argue: You have no respect for a woman’s likes! You’re no gentleman!

Comeback: I have no respect for anyone until they show they are worthy of respect. Hell I don’t trust ANYONE.

Argue: You’ll grow old helpless!

Comeback: Oh really? With me getting a job where none is my boss, and getting what I want and saving for my retirement, I can safely say I have my future secured. And it’s not being shared to a whiny bitch!

Who do these women think they are seriously?
Some fucking princess?
If you’re stupid enough to reduce someone’s worth on the fact he has a car or not for dating him, you are are just a superficial human being, get real.

I think what the author of the rant means is taking a girl [someone] on a date while reaching the place by a crowded train is a mood killer. And that trains are public while using a car instead would be more… personal, I guess?

That’s correct, and let’s not forget how comfortable all that fashion gear some women prefer to wear for such occasions can be. Not that I advocate this, but those who fancy such stuff should bear in mind that there are shoes not made for walking, or dresses not suitable for stuffy compartments. Once the endurance is gone, the show is over.

Trains save money in gas and you don’t have to wait for traffic as they run on a set schedule and also you would know what times you would have space to carry hordes of groceries. Personally I love the trains since I never owned a car and some girls feel a my motorcycle is too dangerous thus I never mention owning it unless asked. If they don’t want to ride the train or my motorcycle they can just walk, I’m not getting a car, not even for kids.

To be perfectly honest, I think most men would be better off being single than with someone that stuck up and would enjoy it a far lot more too.

This is just some woman who clearly has her head too far up her own behind for her own good. I hope she finds her sugar daddy soon though, it just means one less vile single woman out there to deal with for us single men.

for a second I thought this was about a guy who takes his girl on a date on the train meaning the train-ride was the whole date and the whole time he sat there telling her all the specific details about the train and asking her if when they have sex later he could call her by the train’s name

So let me get this straight; ONE WOMAN writes this and says ‘most girls agree with me’ (which she has no fucking evidence for btw), and the Manchild Brigade at sankaku take this as as actual evidence meaning ‘most women’ think this?
give me a fuckin break you guys. MOST people, which I can say with confidence, unlike this woman here, will not give two shits what mode of transport you use outside of a hillbilly tractor.

Personally I wouldnt want a car, it would be ridiculous in japan anyway unless it was the countryside, the traffic is insane.

Seriously, what the fuck standards do these women have? I’d be happy to go to my date destination via a walk if need be. Regardless, it’s still quality time with the person you’re interested in, right?

The affection for one, shouldn’t be determined by transport, if it were, I’d never date a girl that drove a car, ever.

Most women are looking for money as the final objective of any date with a man. Maybe some girls will deny it on Livedoor and the like, but those are just lies to try to make themselves look better, and no guy should believe them.

I feel bad for the guys who aren’t.

Not if you’re a shy girl who can’t say no and end up getting penetrated when you don’t want to…

It sucks, believe me. My BF and I were in relationship for 3 months and I could see it in his eyes that he wanted to take it a step further… so I agreed to have sex with him, even though I didn’t want to do it. I knew that if I said no, I’d probably hurt and disappoint him… so I let him hurt me.

It hurt really badly, I cried during the entire event… my virginity was being taken away against my will. He tried to make me feel as loved and comfortable as he possibly could, but it didn’t really work…
One time, I talked to him about that day, he apologized profusely for being selfish and, well, I just couldn’t not forgive him…
Anyway, we’re, fortunately, still in relationship, it’s been over 4 months since that day. Now it’s nothing but a bad memory that I wish I could simply erase. It keeps coming back every time I get intimate with him.

So many “typical women” comments. Seriously, this is like 90 % of all naked-apekind. Maybe the intelligent rats that will follow us in one million years are better, but I doubt it. Better kill all life, problem solved.

“Most men are looking for sex as the final objective of any date with a woman”
And most women are looking for monye and material goods as the final objective of any date with men so what’s the problem ? You could say it is equivalent exchange.

I know I’m a guy and all I think about is sex, but isn’t it the best thing in the world? Do women NOT have the urge to get pleasured or something? Sure a car has a shift nob, but other than that, there’s not much else to it. Unless Japan… you don’t think..?

Take a car = Driver can’t drink
Take the train = Everyone can drink
Don’t want to train it home? Take a cab. Come on japan you say you’re in front of the world but this is the basic rules of going out.

It is true a car makes taking a woman to a ride more comfortable. Who does not want comfort? I have a car. But the kind of girl who thinks having a car is a minimum requirement for any man to be her boyfriend should change her mind and start thinking money changes hands really fast. I really prefer remaining single than having a girlfriend who wants to be with me because of my car.

The japanese govt wonders why birth rates are so low over there.. The problem is not with the males, its the women, they are demanding too much lately. Its no wonder so many males in japan go to 2d girls instead.

Either way the birthrate is going to keep dropping unless soemthing is done about japanese women’s attitudes.

Leaving all the other issues aside, a woman does care about the man when sorting out the date environment requirements, because if they are supposed to ride the same mode of transport, they can get similar results. Tired people are dismissive, impatient, dull and unappealing, which defeats the whole purpose of dating, doesn’t it? There’s more than introductory level Thatcherism to this rant.

Wow, that’s messed. Just a guy to wants to have a date on a train, doesn’t mean he should be single for all eternity. That’s an awfully bad perspective. What if he can’t afford a car at the moment because his finances was in a snag, I mean anything can happen to the poor guy, unless he’s broke. Either way, I believe women have too much to expect from just one dude. He’s effing human for God’s sake, not a women’s everyday service vending machine. Plus whatever crazed fantasies they have for their “ideal man”, they better drop it because it’s 1/Billion chances shit like that would happen.

Yeah, maybe. But just so it may be quite reasonable for the girl to voice her preferences and even the mocking part comes across well if you assume she already had and they have been made light of.

I’m not that into the latter part of that rant. But again, it’s reasonable for a girl, if she adopts that selling attitude, not to want to sell herself short. And for a good reason, because selling dirt cheap would still be selling – with all the cultural circumstances that come with it.

I heard stories about how bad the traffic is in Tokyo and how it’s worse then LA’s so the choices are the train or be stuck in traffic for two hours.
The latter sounds like it could be a worse experience.

There we go… feminists attacking men again. I too thing that a train is not the most romantic spot, but jeez! Makeing it look like a conspiracy of boys against women is too much. And besides isn’t all dateings goal sex? What does the writer of the last article doo on the end of the date? Philosofate about the universe?

Taking a train or bus: Not romantic. Especially in the city, there’s nothing more awkward than cramming into a packed bus on friday night and staring at each other uncomfortably for 15 minutes before you’ve even gotten to know one another.

Walking: romantic. Meet up as a mom + pop’s coffee shop, park, or phallic landmark of your choice two or three blocks from your venue. You can both have your personal space and ease in, the moonlit walk sets the mood, and when you arrive at the venue, you still had a journey together.

What’s wrong with taking a train or bus to this romantic walking place where you can then walk around awkwardly and eventually reach your venue? That would be like, two journeys together. Plus the walk\ride back. So three or four all in one date.

I saw this comment and just had to reply, if the woman(assuming it really was, and not just some wind up) wants to be in a car so badly, why doesn’t she get one, after all isn’t that what equality is all about and how exactly is using a train violent? Assuming she actually has a job that’s a distance away from where she lives, does she get her mum or dad to drive her to work, or perhaps she takes a non violent bus? This basically seems to be the yammerings of some lazy, greedy little girl who wants everything while doing nothing, she was probably one of those brats that would kick up a fuss in the shop because mummy wouldn’t buy her a kilo of chocolate to eat.
Whiny brat, grow up and buy your own car.

Guys relax, there are such girls all around the world. Some people are just greedy and boring sleepyheads which forgot about love and joy long ago. But even they can have their story WHY. Just pass by.

lel No, in after 3 years new cars go through a hellish inspection that ofttimes makes them ridiculously expensive to upkeep. And after that 3 year window, all cars must go through that same hellish inspection every 2 years. Because of this used cars in Japan have low resale value. Japanese cars are not “super cheap”, they merely look that way because of how rigged the system is.

Reminds me of why I don’t like the female brain. Men are open to dating all kinds of females. Women on the other hand always desire the Alpha of any group. Most of the time women are settling for you which means they don’t really love you. That’s why divorce rates are high.

Women by nature are parasites in search of alpha males of any given group.

Unfortunately, the state doesn’t really seem too different no matter where you live. Materialistic people judging someone on what they can provide in terms of money, fanciness, maxed mind reading ability and eventual divorce settlements to go mess around with some other dude, it’s all the same. Rather than finding someone you enjoy being with who cares about you, people are bitching about transportation. Good game, I’d rather be single than deal with such shallow bitchiness.

Abuse?… Violence? Looks like someone needs to stop skipping their medication or to start taking some. Instead of bitching and moaning they should *train* themselves to take the train, get a car, stop having fantasies about getting a rich boyfriend who will shower them with whatever they want or heck, just walk.

Eitherway, I doubt any man with taste with want to go on a date with such whiny bitches who are probably nothing more than straw feminists.

“Most men are looking for sex as the final objective of any date with a woman. Maybe some guys will deny it on Twitter and the like, but those are just lies to try to make themselves look better, and no girl should believe them.”

maybe true….

but same can be said about girls who say they are look for love and affection… intruth, they are just looking at ur savings account…

so therefore, i say both sexes have equal qualities. stop complaining.

WOMEN DO NOT HAVE IT HARDER! First off who builds the houses around the world? MEN

-Plumbing is done by men
-Nuclear reactors are created by men
-Electrical wiring for electricity is given to you by men
-Those street are man made
-Husbands protect and die for their wives
-The law is NEVER on mans said
-Men have to learn social skills, be in shape, dress in style, perfect hair cut, good paying job and have a nice car just to even be noticed by an AVERAGE girl.

Life of a woman is a joke. Most girls overplay the victims card just so it can seem like you have it worse. It’s men who build and shape the world and it’s men who suffer and die alone.

woah woah there buddy. Men and women both have it hard. Each has to deal with adversities pertaining to their gender. So chill on the ‘men are victims’ card and realize that everyone is a victim of something. FUCK the idea that men of women have it hard, LIFE is hard in general and the stupid people like this chick or your victim complex makes it even harder.

When I was doing compensated dating in high school, the salarymen always picked me up in cars and spent lots of money! Now that I’m 30, I still expect to be picked up in a car by a guy with lots of cash!

Where do they find these hopeless women? No wonder they’re single, if they want a car more then want a man. Quit bitching already, you’ve made your choice to be Christmas Cake if that’s your attitude, girls..

Not me bro. If I were rich, I’d be driving a Lambo & banging public schoolgirls. Fuck those old withered whores, I’d rather nail the poor materialistic sluts we all cannot stand than them. More value for the dollar. hahaha

When I was 22 I dated a 29y.o. korean girl who fit the stereotype. Didn’t matter what I did, she would come over when I called and tell me she loved me…and I did some extremely suspect things @_@ eg.(forced finger in the ‘stink’ while she struggled to get away with a mortified look on her face, fully clothed and watching TV mind you…other stuff that could easily be considered date-rape if she wanted to press charges) Ok, I wouldn’t be such an asshole these days, but the fact is she just accepted her fate….

Though serisouly, if I remember correctly (from some blogs and documentaries) it’s more to do with how Japanese women are seen as “Yamato Nadeshikos” even in the eyes of white dudes. Where the man is the one in control of everything. Which is ironic because they are anything but now…Japanese women are just as crass and bitchy as any other if not more with how often they sell themselves before they even hit 15.

All men want a somewhat obedient housewife/girlfriend. It’s a fascination. But any man who isn’t in fantasy land knows that this idea of the common perfect woman doesn’t exist. Which is case in point with how Japanese men have these stupidly high expectations of elegant obedient females thus secludes to PC until then (or go off on a pedo rape spree lol) and Japanese women wanting wallets and materialistic goods more than men and a relationship itself.

Japan makes some awesome shit. Quite the oppsite when it comes to all social aspects however.

Like how ’bout the guy takes her to his favorite Magna cafe and rents a private room full of Hentai then reads it with her and tries to screw her?

Or how ’bout he takes her to his room covered in Loli porn and mounts her on a tiny roll out bed on the floor next to Madoka body pillows and covered with stale crumbs of dozens of meals? “Oooh, Madoka san..” — “That’s MOMO san!” she yells, he continues “you feel soooo much better than my Kyubey onahole…”

Perhaps a concert where the fans yelling drown out the show? A bar full of drunk vomiting people who try to hit on them both, with the occasional gangster who tries to rape/rob them both?

I think taking her on a train means he actually has some independent thought and personality. Can live and work in the ‘real’ world but also can escape it. One thing I like about Orientals is an instinctive ability to appreciate nature.

The problem with japan is japanese women. Japan has been living in the 1950s since 1950. And unlike western ‘womens lib’ feminists, they don’t understand that when you demand all the equality shit, you still have to put out.

Japanese women seem to still live in a dream world very similar to NEETs- they get equal rights, pay, all that modern stuff but still don’t actually have to DO the work- raise children, keep jobs, etc as Western women do now.

Arrogant, greedy, entitled attitude like this are common- they’ve been spoiled princesses at home with moomy and daddy for 25 years, they have little to no actual job or life experience but they probably have a useless college degree, but think they’ll find a rich sugar daddy so never really have to get a REAL job.

In terms of energy per person. Now, if you see the prices per km of our italian long trips train, that’s another story, of course.

Heck, per se mass transit is awesome, way better than cars. Sure, it needs to be: safe, practical in terms of distance from the stop to your destination, 24/24 (well, at least some night shifts), clean, good with time schedules, take you to the places without having much to wait, being cheap… things that the tokyoites get (at least I think it’s cheap).

To be fair, nowhere in Italy we have a so crowded metropolitan area that COULD be like Paris (not even Tokyo) with subways and shit and being economically feasible.
Even most USA cities don’t have those levels of density: NY city is an exception.

Go to youtube. Look up Japanese cities and rodes and watch videos of people TRYING to drive. It’s crazy. I’ve been driving since I was 13 (farm stuff) and was always wondering until I watched a few vids. They have trouble getting around on scooters, forget cars.

Nor have we Americans, it seems. All thanks to the bus transportation industry killing off the trolly & our railroads relying on lines built in the early 1900s.

America’s railroad industry is too cheap to invest in new lines optimized for bullet trains, opting to lose customers to airlines and stick almost exclusively to transporting commercial goods, while running a few public lines to major cities for businessmen. They also rape you on rates over the weekend, when less people are worknig in the city.

Not true. I live near a train station in Rhode Island and the parking lot is always packed and you also see lots of locals walking there to take the train up to Boston, MA or walking back home at the end of the day. Yes, way too many people still drive cars, but I think it’s a sense of the freedom you get that makes us be that way.

It was GM alone that did that with all the bus companies they ran behind the scenes. Pacific Electric died because it never made money to begin with: when Henry Huntington ran out of land to develop, no more money was to be made indirectly by building new lines to vacant land.

Actually the oil and auto companies that bought up a lot of the electric trolleys and light rail.
Others such as the Pacific Electric Railway serving Southern California were badly ran and went bankrupt.

Keep in mind that if you live in Tokyo you have 37 million people in a single city, for example so, there using trains are way more logical (effective and less time consuming) than using a car, plus they’re cheaper(Don’t need to pay for them, don’t need gas) and are faster.

Well, reason why Japan uses a train is because of over population on an island. There is over millions of people there on that island. Having that many people with cars on that small space is more then likely going to have traffic jams that can last up for at least an hour or more, probably without any wrecks either. Not to mention a few of their trains can go past 150+ mph I think. Makes it more convent to travel one place to another.

The Tokyo region is very densely populated while other parts of Japan are fairly sparsely populated.
The remark on parking Anon 12:17 made is something particular to the Greater Tokyo Area maybe just the Tokyo prefecture which is as densely built up as Long Island NY.

In most parts of Japan you need to prove you have a place to park it, which in itself it expensive. Most don’t have cars as cars aren’t really all that convenient in the larger cities as their train/subway systems are crazy good. That was just about the only way I travelled while I was there.
